A man can fall in and out of love with a simple cheek-kiss, commit tender crimes of the heart, and enjoy gay passion to its fullest. Who wouldn’t like to fall in love with a sexy medium in “Run Like a Girl?” What happened “Last Night on Smithfield Street,” when two attractive men collide for the first time? And who is the mysterious, queer vampire who shares a “Tongue-Bite” with each of his victims? In the title story, radio show host Kye Shore wants to marry soon. Could a snowy weekend in the woods cause him to fall in love with Mr. Right, or will it forever be "The Boyfriend Season?" In “Jogger,” a young, muscular athlete is being stalked, but has he fallen for his stalker? And why is “Kai’s Underwear” being mailed to James Anthony’s apartment? What bizarre and sexy game is transpiring in his so-called normal life? The ten short stories in this collection embrace the lives of queer men, their lust-driven lovers, and boyfriend relationships both romantic and problematic.

The Boyfriend Season and Other Stories

I’m no longer joining in prayer, not that I really was. I lift my head and stare at the back of the twins’ heads, who are sitting directly in front of me. My mind drifts to something Mr. Friday said most recently about the brothers: How much will the irresistible duo cost me for an hour of their time?


Unfortunately for Mr. Friday’s personal means of sexual pleasure, the twins are terribly straight, perhaps even faggot-bashers, or so rumors have spread about their bar-hopping adventures and ruthless tempers through the Friday family. Mr. Friday never did have the opportunity to enjoy an evening of a man-on-man-on-man raunch-fest with the pair, not that the twins would have cordially obliged, anyway.
